When a sudden 10-hour flight delay leaves Rosie scrambling for a hotel, she and Carter find themselves at the same place at the same time. With only one room available, Carter gives it up for Rosie. As the night unfolds, their chance encounter turns into something more. Sharing a flight to New York, Carter upgrades Rosie to business class. Amidst casual conversation, Rosie reveals her journey to interview at SweetHarvest Delights. Carter conceals his identity, presenting himself as a simple engineer to avoid any professional favoritism. Rosie, skeptical but accepting, lands the job at SweetHarvest Delights. On her first day, the truth unravels—Carter's deception exposed. Hurt and betrayed, Rosie confronts Carter, setting the stage for a tense confrontation. Carter, realizing the gravity of his mistake, grovels in an earnest attempt to salvage their connection. Carter pours his regrets and vulnerabilities, yet the question looms large: Can Rosie forgive a well-intentioned deception that blurred the lines between truth and lies? Will this unexpected connection lead to a sweet love story? Dive into the pages, where trust is tested, hearts are laid bare, and Carter's sincere grovel sets the stage for a resolution that remains tantalizingly uncertain.

CEO's Sweet Surrender 5. ROSALYN
Martha is thankfully not so grumpy. She didn’t introduce me to everyone or show me to my table for that matter but at least she seemed pleased with the new helping hand.I have a small cubicle with a PC and three frosted glass walls that I’m allowed to decorate on my own accord. I got a new laptop (employee benefits) and a credit card to purchase custom brushes if the team already doesn’t have them.“Use this carefully,” Christian instructed while handing me the yellow credit card. “Once an employee used it to pay in Walmart thinking that nobody would find out. She was fired 2 hours later with a bad recommendation. Poor thing didn’t get a job after and had to run to her hometown with her tail between her legs.”“That- that’s bad. I don’t know what to say,” I exclaim.“You’ll have to be careful. Our CEO is very particular about employee ethics. Once, he fired a man for wearing his tie the wrong way.”“Oh my god- That’s awful.”“And he fired another woman because she asked for a 2 day l

“Hey,” Kiara squeals, engulfing me in a tight hug and I return the gesture.“It’s been so long,” I commented.“I know right.”We break the hug and walk into the apartment, the place that I will be sharing with Kiara for the foreseeable future. It is not big but at least there are two rooms and enough space for both of us.“Kiara you didn’t have to do the rent part.” Kiara offered to pay the complete rent for the next two months so that I would be able to get a stable income without worrying about it. I am extremely grateful for the help.“We went over this Rosie. I am doing well financially. It’s your time to shine now,” she says and moves to the kitchen to cook. I unpack my stuff and arrange my room.“You’re glowing,” she notes during dinner.“No,” I quickly say and mentally slap myself for being so eager to refuse.She narrows her eyes.“I got a job interview. As much anyone can glow with that-”“You had sex,” she cuts me. “Of course, this is the after sex glow.” She smiles mischiev

I can’t tell her. For the first time, I meet someone who’s good to me without asking for favours and this happens. What kind of sick joke fate is playing with me?“I-uh-work in a small firm. You wouldn’t know it,” I lied. She nods but it’s not with understanding. I’m wearing a Brioni and Rolex watch. People who work in small firms don’t wear them.I’m sorry Rosie. I have to lie to you.Just when I started to like someone…But now I'll have to let her go.“What happened?” she asks, noting the change in my demeanour. “Nothing,” I try to be assuring. What I am and who I am is outside of this flight. Inside, I am only Carter West. I refuse to let this revelation take away my fun.“Tell me more about yourself,” I urged.“I grew up in Chicago. I was in London meeting a friend when I got the interview. Now I’m going to New York and if things don’t work out, then I’m in grave trouble.”“How?”“My money is gone. Freelancing gave me side income for a while but it's not enough to survive in a

“Last night was intense,” I say to Carter’s behind. He’s shuffling through his suitcase, looking for another expensive suit to wear today.“Those are not the only words that I’ll use to describe last night, baby,” he returns to the bed and claims my lips again. I’m still sprawled half naked under the bed sheet and my flight is in 2 hours.“Care to join me while I shower?” He extends a hand with a sheepish grin on his face. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say it’s just a shower. However, after last night, it is bound to go sideways.But who’s complaining?Certainly not me.“Sure.” I take his hand and prepare myself for another round.“Where are you going?” I ask, slipping on my black stockings. I pair it with a pale brown skirt, black sweater and chocolaty brown overcoat. It’s bound to be cold after last night.“New York. You?” I gape at him. “The same flight that’s in an hour?”“Yup,” he enunciates, still oblivious.“We’re on the same flight.”“Woah,” he remarks. “More time to spend

“Dear passengers, the flight from London to New York THGD08 will be delayed by 10 hours due to unforeseen weather conditions. We apologise for the inconvenience. Have a good night,” the robotic voice announced from the speakers for the 3rd time.I stand at the exit, looking at the pouring rain which will soon be preceded by a thunderstorm. “Have a good night,” the voice says for the 4th time.How am I supposed to have a good night when I have nowhere to go? I don’t have enough money to be able to pay for London’s expensive hotels. And I certainly don’t want to spend my night shivering in the airport lobby.“You should move quickly before all the nearby hotels are booked,” a warm voice says from my side. She does not look more than 40 and is accompanied by her husband and children.I politely smile and nod. She’s right. I have to move. I roll my suitcase, avoiding all the wet spots.The first hotel was booked.Second was too expensive.But third’s the charm, right? Not wanting to mis
